Note: Cillian Murphy's exact birth time isn't on record. Planetary signs are calculated for noon on his birth date and are likely accurate, but the rising sign and house placements are unknown... and the Moon sign should be treated as approximate if he was born near a sign change.

Oscar-winning Irish actor known for Oppenheimer, Peaky Blinders, and 28 Days Later.

What the chart reveals about Cillian Murphy: the temperament beneath the artistry, the drives that shape the work, the private register behind the public one...

Cillian Murphy's solar signature falls in Gemini — a nature that is genuinely interested in people — in what they think, how they think it, what makes them different from the last person. Gemini Sun brings real curiosity to encounter, and the people who experience it often feel more seen than they expected to.

On the emotional side, an Aries Moon shapes Anger is the most honest emotion in this placement — not the only one, but the one that comes fastest and clearest. The challenge isn't feeling it. It's knowing what to do with it before it arrives.

In his personal life, Cillian's Venus in Taurus loves slowly, completely, and with a commitment to the physical world of relationship — the shared meal, the unhurried evening, the hand held without reason. Connection here is sensory before it is anything else.

As a creative figure, Cillian's Mercury in Taurus leaves its mark on the way his mind takes in and expresses ideas. Once Taurus Mercury has formed a position, it holds it with a tenacity that can frustrate people who expect more flexibility. The stability of the thinking is the same quality that makes it trustworthy. The two things are inseparable.

Mars in this chart holds itself to a standard of excellence that is partly about pride and partly about genuine quality — Leo Mars wants to do things that will last, that will mean something, that it can stand behind completely.

Fixed energy runs through the chart, giving Cillian extraordinary staying power and a depth of commitment that is rare... once decided, they are difficult to move. A concentration of planets in Taurus gives the chart a distinct Taurus undertone... amplifying those themes alongside the core Gemini energy. With 4 retrograde planets natally, much of Cillian's energy turns inward... a rich interior life that quietly shapes everything he puts into the world.

Chart Interpretations

Birth time unknown. Sign placements (Sun, Moon, planets) are accurate. House placements and Rising sign are estimated from noon and may not reflect the actual chart.

☉

Sun in GeminiHouse 10 (est.)

Gemini is a Mutable Air sign, and the Sun here expresses identity through curiosity, language, and perpetual intellectual movement. Air lifts self-expression into the realm of ideas and connection, and Mutable modality keeps that expression fluid, adaptable, and always searching for the next interesting thing. You shine most fully in conversation and exchange ... you are genuinely many-faceted rather than inconsistent. The challenge is depth: without deliberate commitment to something, the Mutable Air tendency to skim widely leaves you brilliant on the surface but quietly restless underneath.

☽

Moon in AriesHouse 9 (est.)

Aries is a Cardinal Fire sign, and the Moon here processes emotion quickly, directly, and with an urgency that demands expression. Fire makes feelings eruptive and short-lived rather than brooding; Cardinal modality means your instinct is to act on what you feel rather than sit with it. You feel emotionally safe when you are in motion ... asserting yourself, protecting what matters, pursuing what you want. A concrete tendency is a short emotional fuse that recovers quickly: you flare, say what you feel, and genuinely move on, which can confuse those whose emotional pace is slower than yours.

☿

Mercury in TaurusHouse 10 (est.)

℞

Taurus is a Fixed Earth sign, and Mercury here thinks slowly, practically, and with a strong preference for ideas that can be built into something real. Earth grounds the mind in the concrete and sensory; you retain information best when it connects to experience rather than abstraction. Fixed modality means your opinions, once formed, are held with real conviction ... you are not easily moved by clever argument alone. A concrete tendency is the intellectual slow build: you may not be first to speak in a room, but what you say when you do has been turned over carefully and lands with a credibility that faster minds sometimes lack.

♀

Venus in TaurusHouse 10 (est.)

Taurus is a Fixed Earth sign, and Venus is in its domicile here ... one of the most naturally sensuous and devoted placements for the planet of love. Earth grounds your affections in the physical world; touch, beauty, shared comfort, and the slow cultivation of lasting bonds are how you love most naturally. Fixed modality makes you loyal with genuine staying power and genuinely resistant to disruption in relationships that have given you security. A concrete tendency is possessiveness that arrives quietly: the depth of your attachment is real and admirable, but it occasionally shades into treating the people or things you love as certainties rather than as choices freely made by another person.

♂

Mars in LeoHouse 12 (est.)

Leo is a Fixed Fire sign, and Mars here pursues its desires with passion, pride, and an instinct for the dramatic. Fire makes your drive vivid and expressive; Fixed modality gives you genuine staying power and the will to sustain your ambitions through difficulty rather than abandoning them when they stop feeling exciting. You are motivated by recognition and the desire to create something that bears your stamp. A concrete tendency is the disproportionate response to ego wounds: when effort goes unrecognized or authority is challenged, this placement can respond with an intensity that surprises others ... the maturation of this energy is learning to act from the love of the work itself rather than from the need for the work to be seen.

♃

Jupiter in TaurusHouse 10 (est.)

Taurus is a Fixed Earth sign, and Jupiter here grows through patience, material stewardship, and the slow cultivation of genuine abundance. Earth roots your expansiveness in the concrete; you grow most meaningfully through what you build, invest in, and develop with sustained care. Fixed modality gives that growth remarkable staying power ... what Jupiter in Taurus builds tends to endure. A concrete tendency is the pleasure that tips into excess: Jupiter amplifies Taurus's already strong appetite for comfort, beauty, and material security, and the productive discernment is learning the difference between genuine abundance and the accumulation that is actually a form of anxiety.

♄

Saturn in CancerHouse 12 (est.)

Cancer is a Cardinal Water sign, and Saturn is in its detriment here ... the planet of structure and emotional restraint in the sign of vulnerability, belonging, and emotional nourishment. This tension often manifests as early experiences in which emotional needs felt unsafe, too costly, or unwelcome. Water means the lessons are felt in the body and the psyche as much as in circumstance; Cardinal modality means they arrive at formative, initiating moments. A concrete tendency is a caregiving that withholds the self: this placement often invites someone who gives nurturing more easily than they receive it ... the essential work is learning that your own emotional needs are as legitimate as the ones you tend in others.

♅

Uranus in ScorpioHouse 3 (est.)

℞

Scorpio is a Fixed Water sign, and Uranus here (1975–1981) disrupts through sudden and irreversible transformation in power, sexuality, death, and the hidden structures beneath social life. Water makes Uranus's disruption psychologically penetrating and impossible to ignore once activated; Fixed modality means the changes are thorough and lasting when they finally come. Your generation grew up through the AIDS crisis, the restructuring of sexual norms, and major upheavals in global power. A concrete tendency is a deep familiarity with intensity and transformation as the natural rhythm of existence ... and an unusual ability to navigate crisis without being undone by it.

♆

Neptune in SagittariusHouse 4 (est.)

℞

Sagittarius is a Mutable Fire sign, and Neptune here (1970–1984) dissolves the boundaries around religion, philosophy, and the search for meaning across cultures. Fire makes Neptune's idealism expansive and drawn to the universal; Mutable modality keeps the dissolution wide-ranging and restlessly seeking. This generation is drawn to spiritual exploration across traditions and carries a genuine hunger for a truth that transcends any single faith. The shadow is spiritual bypassing ... the dilution of profound traditions into comfortable lifestyle choices, and a restlessness that mistakes perpetual seeking for having arrived at the wisdom it was looking for.

♇

Pluto in LibraHouse 3 (est.)

℞

Libra is a Cardinal Air sign, and Pluto here (1971–1984) brought profound transformation to partnership, justice, and the social contracts governing how people relate. Air makes Pluto's transformation relational and conceptual; Cardinal modality means the destruction and rebuilding arrive at points of commitment and formal agreement. This generation came of age witnessing the collapse of conventional marriage, the rise of identity politics, and a wholesale reconsideration of what equality actually requires. The shadow is a power struggle at the heart of love ... the intimate relationship as the primary arena in which questions of domination and freedom are played out rather than resolved.

☊

North Node in ScorpioHouse 4 (est.)

Your North Node in Scorpio calls you toward depth, genuine transformation, and the willingness to release what has outlived its usefulness rather than protecting it as a form of security. Scorpio is a Fixed Water sign ... the evolutionary direction here is toward emotional courage, the willingness to be changed by experience, and the radical trust that what dies can regenerate into something more real. The corresponding South Node in Taurus suggests an ingrained ease with comfort, stability, and the accumulation of what feels safe. A concrete tendency from the South Node is the holding-on ... the attachment to possessions, relationships, or self-conceptions that no longer serve but that feel like the floor beneath you. The medicine is discovering that the deepest security comes not from holding but from the willingness to move.

⚷

Chiron in AriesHouse 9 (est.)

Your Chiron in Aries places your core wound in the realm of identity, self-assertion, and the right to simply exist as yourself without apology. Aries is a Cardinal Fire sign ... the wound here lives at the point of initiation, in the moment of acting on your own behalf, beginning something, or asserting a need. You may carry a deep uncertainty about whether your desires are legitimate or whether it is safe to go first. A concrete tendency is self-suppression at the threshold of action ... the impulse and the hesitation arriving simultaneously, producing a paralysis that looks from the outside like caution but is actually a wound to the right of the self to be asserted. The gift, once tended, is an extraordinary capacity to help others claim their courage.

↑

Ascendant (Rising) in Leo(est.)

With Leo rising, you enter a room and the room notices. There's a natural magnetism and creative confidence that radiates from you. People are drawn to your warmth and generosity of spirit. You carry yourself with a quiet pride that isn't arrogance... it's self-assurance rooted in knowing who you are.

↓

Descendant in Aquarius(est.)

With your Descendant in Aquarius, you're drawn to partners who are independent, unconventional, and intellectually stimulating. You seek relationships that respect individuality... where both people can be themselves without compromise.

Midheaven in Taurus(est.)

With your Midheaven in Taurus, your career is built on consistency, quality, and tangible results. You're drawn to work that creates lasting value... something you can see, touch, or measure. Your professional reputation grows slowly but becomes unshakable over time.

Imum Coeli in Scorpio(est.)

With your IC in Scorpio, your roots are shaped by emotional intensity and transformation. Your private life has depth that few people see. You recharge through solitude, emotional processing, and confronting what's hidden.
